Finding Your Home

How to find the perfect property

Finding your home

Your Harcourts Ringwood property consultant will
begin by showing you suitable properties, which are on the market right
now. You will see photographs and detailed descriptions of all the
properties we have listed which meet your requirements.

When you
see something you like, they will arrange a visit. Please feel free to
use the Property Search feature on the left of your screen to search for
any current listings by Harcourts.

Your wish list

We often hear "but the agent didn't listen to me!"
While this may be true of some agents, your Harcourts consultant is
trained to listen – not to talk.

Knowing your requirements early
really helps us help you. Sometimes however, your circumstances and
priorities can change. Often, we will check with you to ensure we remain
on track.

Facts that help us in finding you the right property include:

Suburb/s

Price range

Number of bedrooms

Style of home

Proximity to childcare/primary and secondary schools

Garden size

Drive in access and or garaging

+Special requirements e.g. no stairs

Your essentials

It is important that we know the absolute most
important features you want in a property and will not compromise on.
They may include:

A separate office / study

Sun aspect

Security

Garaging or mooring for a boat

Low maintenance grounds

These requirements are unique to each buyer. Also give some thought to features you most definitely do not want in a property.

Searching for properties

Many buyers search the internet prior to viewing properties.

You
can use the Property Search function to the left of this page for a
comprehensive search facility which will provide you with property
details and multiple photos of each property.

Inspecting properties

Your consultant will show you those properties that
best fit your requirements. This will be at times to suit you and the
owner of the property. You will be kept informed of all changes relating
to the properties you have viewed and you will be advised of new
properties as they come on the market. Talk to your consultant about how
you want to receive new property information i.e. via email, text or
phone call.

Inspections of properties take time. We recommend
you do not rush or disregard too quickly. Try not to judge a property
from the outside only. Some properties have little or no street appeal,
but have much to offer inside. An inspection will confirm your first
impression or will pleasantly surprise you.

When the right
property presents itself be prepared to make an offer. We will encourage
you to do so as many people have found their perfect home and missed it
because they didn’t take the opportunity when it as available to them.
